It’s a heck of a way to run a pre-election campaign. On the eve of an expected election, politicians usually spend their time playing up good news, downplaying the bad, shaking hands and kissing babies.

3 oz. Vodka

Splash of vermouth

6 caper stuffed olives

Pour vodka into a shaker half full of ice and add olives to the shaker. Shake until well chilled and olives are pulverized. Pour a splash of vermouth into the martini glass and roll the liquid around the surface of the bowl. Discard vermouth and strain vodka into the glass. By pulverizing the olives we are releasing the essential oils and olive juice into the drink instead of using the brine which is comprised of oil, salt and water. This method provides a real olive flavoured cocktail instead of a bitter salty drink.
